Re: [Geoserver-users] Quick tip: geoserver startup in 13s instead of 6min

It seems your haveged is not working properly. Please perform some more tests: 1. Look for the logs in /var/log/tomcat8/catalina.out for a line similar to /INFO: Creation of SecureRandom instance for session ID generation using // //[SHA1PRNG] took [313,537] milliseconds./ It should read

Hi Daniel, Thank you for the reply. The test was made at home, running the VM on my i7 laptop. #Running the VM on the real hypervisor server and network: service tomcat8 stop && service tomcat8 start && time curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/geoserver/web #returns real1m5.163s user0m0.000s sys

Re: [Geoserver-users] Quick tip: geoserver startup in 13s instead of 6min

Hi, Ricardo, Your geoserver already starts in a reasonable time. I was unsettled with my installation because it took six minutes. Since haveged did not change the time needed to run your test, it seems geoserver (actually tomcat8) is not limited by entropy on startup. To make sure

Re: [Geoserver-users] Quick tip: geoserver startup in 13s instead of 6min

Oi Daniel, Very interesting! I use VM's a lot and always found geoserver very slow to start. :( On my "Ubuntu 16.04 server minimal VM, clean install", running on vmware player: (needed previous: sudo apt install curl) sudo su service tomcat8 stop && service tomcat8 start && time curl

Re: [Geoserver-users] Quick tip: geoserver startup in 13s instead of 6min

Jody, tl;dr: the pool used to create the random numbers has the entropy. Linux maintains a pool of entropy from nondeterministic sources such as device timings, interrupts, mouse and keyboard activity, and so on. The entropy pool is then used to seed a pseudo-random number generator. The

Hello everyone, TLDR: Change the line "securerandom.source=file:/dev/random" in "/etc/java-8-openjdk/security/java.security" to point to /dev/urandom instead to start a clean geoserver install in 13 seconds instead of 6 minutes. Be mindful of security implications. I have been
